The bill and accompanying reports contain 6,714 earmarks costing $8.3 billion, Coburn says. Twenty-three Republicans and four Democrats who voted for the immediate [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] ban on earmarks claimed them in the bill.At a news conference Wednesday, Sens. John Thune, R-S.D., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, assaulted the bill but in turn came under attack from reporters questioning why they have earmarks in the measure.Thune backed 17 earmarks for $23 million, including $500,000 for a terminal expansion at the Rapid City airport and $1 million for improvements to state route 73 in Jackson County.
Such criticism, however, also could be directed at Colorado Democrats Michael Bennet and Mark Udall, who voted for the earmark ban two weeks ago. The Senate bill includes a $700,000 earmark sought by Bennet for a new water line for Trinidad, Colo., and $500,000 for a wastewater project in Idaho Springs, Colo., requested by Udall.Obama didn't escape the criticism. Just a month ago, the president said the nation can't afford "wasteful earmark [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] spending."But his administration made it clear he'll accept the earmark-laden Senate bill over a less expensive, earmark-free version passed by the House last week. Defense Secretary Robert Gates endorsed the Senate version and its $678 billion for the Pentagon and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, about $19 billion more than in the House bill.

"I support those projects, but I don't support this bill," Thune said.Cornyn obtained numerous earmarks as well, including $110,000 for the Texas State Technical [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] College and $500,000 for a wastewater plant in Edinburg, Texas."I'm going to vote against this bill and refuse all those earmarks," Cornyn said. So long as they remain in the bill, however, Cornyn's earmarks are going ahead. His requests were made in the spring.Critics pounced on what they deemed double-talk."Many of the same senators who are criticizing ... earmarks have earmarks in the bill," said Sen. Dick Durbin, DIll., who obtained $89 million worth of them. "That is the height of hypocrisy to stand up and request an earmark and then fold your arms and piously announce, 'I'm against earmarks.'"
